Now that everyone sees the man behind the curtain, they are not sure they like what they see. Unless he wants to have an approval rating of 32%(about the percentage of America haters in our own electorate), he will be forced to the muddled center by his own advisers. Otherwise, he will be a one termer with a minority in Congress.

Right now BO has a cohort that privately suspects they’ve elected a lemon. They are only loath to publicly admit it now. Then there are those who will be with him to the end; even if their personal situation worsens as a direct result of his policies. The Bread and Circus cohort may likely sit 2010 and 2012 out simply because BO will no longer be the cool thing of the month.

And it’s quickly becoming obvious to all that this guy has no business as Commander-in-Chief, either- he’s not only a coward, but comprehensively unqualified and too narcissistic to focus on anything but his own political security.

By the time 2012 rolls-around, people will cringe at the mere mention of his name- and the GOP could take 40 states running Gilbert Gottfried.

It could also be that they’re embarrassed by the president’s lack of conviction for freedom in Iran.

Bill Clinton was a poor president, but a great politician. He won his first term because he understood if he promoted lies loudly enough (“It’s the economy, stupid”), they start sounding like the truth. The economy was NOT the worst since the Depression, but Clinton lied, lied, lied and the public thought it must be true. Repetition does work. Republicans often make the mistake of allowing the other side to lie loudly (just as Obama did with his “95% get tax cuts” fabrication during the election) about economic issues.

Then Clinton won his second term, not just because of the candidate(s) he faced, but because he always bounced back using polls at just the right time to regain his footing after blunders.

“Bad news can take down any President.”

Yes, if it hits at the right time, and the spin doctors are caught without a plan or have no time to implement it. But it’s too early in this presidency to make stronger predictions. There are so many more cycles of rise and fall yet to come.

Still, I’m glad for every crack in the armor. No one thought Hillary Clinton could be defeated, so once her “inevitability” was off the table, it became possible for her to lose the primary. I just hope more and more people see the real guy behind the curtain, and realize there is no wizard of Ozbama.

Of course, Paul’a butting heads with the environazis on his issue with the irrigation canals being shut off because of this minnow. Good luck with getting Obama to side with you over them. But every little bit of erosion of approval helps.
